Configured for high-speed network communication in CENTUM VP distributed control systems, the YOKOGAWA VI-702 (VI-702 Vnet/IP Interface Card) provides direct physical execution of network packet routing and data exchange. The card manages bidirectional communication between field control stations and the plant-wide Vnet/IP backbone to ensure synchronous control operations.

The VI-702 interface card is engineered to support the Vnet/IP protocol, enabling deterministic data transmission across the control network. It facilitates the integration of FOUNDATION Fieldbus and other networked instrumentation by managing physical layer communication and link-layer overhead. The card architecture is optimized for low-latency command cycles, ensuring that network jitter remains within specified tolerances required for process synchronization. Signal traffic is governed by internal hardware logic that prioritizes control data to prevent congestion on the network backbone.
Q: Does the VI-702 card support hot-swapping during active network communication?
A: No. The card must be inserted or removed only after the associated control station power has been disabled to prevent electrical damage to the backplane or network corruption.
Q: Is this card compatible with redundant Vnet/IP network configurations?
A: Yes. The VI-702 is designed for use in dual-redundant network paths, where two cards work in tandem to provide seamless failover if one communication channel or interface card experiences a fault.
